Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Representation Agreements
In February 2011, the Company entered into two separate representation agreements with Basin Supply Corporation (“Basin Supply”), a multinational, energy industry-focused supply chain management company, to market certain of the Company’s specialty chemicals and down-hole drilling products and services within various international markets, including the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the former Soviet Union. Both agreements are effective through December 31, 2015. Under each agreement, Basin Supply is also eligible to receive warrants to purchase Flotek common stock (at an exercise price of 125% of the price of Flotek's common stock on the grant date) upon exceeding contractually defined annual base and “stretch” sales targets. The number of warrants that could be issued under the terms of each of the agreements is 100,000 per year during 2013 and 2014.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from the oil and gas industry. Customers include major integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, pressure pumping service companies and state-owned national oil companies. This concentration of customers in one industry increases credit and business risks.
Certain mud-motor inventory parts in the Drilling Technologies segment and stock parts in the Artificial Lift Technologies segment are primarily sourced from China.
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables. In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is maintained at one major financial institution and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
Non-binding Letter of Intent
In July 2013, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Eclipse IOR Services, LLC, a leading provider of enhanced recovery technologies for oil and natural gas producers. Subject to successful completion of due diligence, total consideration is expected to be approximately $6.5 million.
